WASP Studio

A small update on things:
Lyndon's brother kindly extracted the source code from our projects (developing and finished) so with the generous help of Michael Ware (Rusty Pixels / HoH/Tyvarian/Warhawk/Crowley etc) we'll fix the couple outstanding bugs we have.
Pogie will soon also be on track for a release.
Target;Renegade is progressing. (A familiar face is writing the music too :) )
Finally the 3rd edition of the Next Manual is awaiting a small contribution by Allen Albright which needs to be documented and will be released. The people with outstanding orders that didn't take the refund option will receive it first; the rest will be able to buy it right after.

Thank you ALL for your support and understanding; it has been a difficult time and transition.

It is with a very heavy heart that I have to announce the passing of our founder, genius programmer, all around great bloke and most of all dear friend and brother Lyndon Sharp.
I have no words to describe how we all feel in the WASP camp today and for the foreseeable future as his loss hasn't even begun to sink in.
As was his wish, WASP will continue in his honour and we will make sure the last three games he was working on will get published; as it was Lyndon's greatest joy to have people enjoy the games he made.
You will allow us a little bit of time to wrap our heads around exactly how we'll continue but in the meatime; play some Kwik Snax, Zanthrax, Pogie's Demo and Way Of The Exploding Fist. You'll be sure to make him smile with the bright smile he always has.
As long as his games are being played, he'll always be with us

Part of the returned mail today was 3 orders from Spain. One was even a second shipment of a previously delivered order which Spanish post office sent God knows where. Spanish post office here claimed that Greece is not part of the EU and writes that the customs declaration (CN22) is missing. The only three problems are that: 1. EU shipments don’t require that. 2. It took them over two months to return these. 3. People that bought them require refunds. Regardless of the health issues that have plagued us, things like this make it a good decision to have halted sales of physicals 😖

We had a lot of returned emails on our last mailshot regarding ZX Spectrum Next Issue 2 Manuals so here it is from this place as well;
Until we finally get them from China, we will refund them all (some have already been refunded) and until they arrive (or we print the larger ones) we won't offer them for sale. People that placed an order in the first place will receive a 20% off coupon as a token of our appreciation for enduring this delay - good for any purchase on our webstore. Thank you and apologies again!

ZX Harrier has been updated to v. 2.02. Please log in your accounts and download the new version. Fixes sound inconsitencies with the HDMI beta core

Who remembers "Hunter" with Fred Dryer and Stephanie Kramer.
I've been watching season 1 (19 episodes, 7 seasons) and it is still watchable and i can see where the inspiration for Sledge Hammer came from.😄

We’ve identified an issue with ZX Harrier and Fist crashing under cores 3.02.01 (KS2) and 3.02.00 (KS1). ZX Harrier has been fixed and a new version uploaded, while the same is going to happen with Fist in the next couple of days. We’re sorry for the inconvenience!

, final shipments to clear the backlog will happen this week (Tuesday at the latest). Thank you all for your patience! The good thing is that your support has been overwhelming! The bad thing is that your support has been OVERWHELMING 🤣 Finally however we managed to produce more than you order so we'll be able to be a bit faster from now on. In the meantime you can still log in your account and download the games as every physical copy comes with a digital download! Please note that UK recipients should be contacted by Royal Mail with their tracking number!

, all digital downloads have now been associated with the orders so until your receive your physical copies you can go ahead and play to your hearts' content :)

48 hours later and we're still at it enabling the downloads and that's basically because a lot of people ordered the KS1 physical upgrade without getting the actual KS1 free download. I need to go through each order, email the customer and then try again. Process takes about 5 minutes per customer so the delay is kinda huge... Getting there though about 100 to go still

New version of The Way Of The Exploding Fist is uploaded; contains also an updated .gde file. Since this needs to be manually inserted in each order it will take us a few hours to get through ALL of them. Please keep an eye on your emails for a note from us that states that the download is enabled then login in your wearespectrumprogrammers.com account and look under Downloads! Thank you again for your patience and we apologise for the bug!

It seems that after some serious bug hunting we got rid of that pesky bug. In the process the AI became a bit more vicious (Sorry Gavin Horricks). Lyndon is currently dialing down the meanness of your AI opponent so it seems like you’ll be expecting a mass email with a notice to download the game for those of you with digital and physical releases of WoTEF. Cheers all and thank you for your patience

The Way Of The Exploding Fist originally came with multilingual instructions in English, French and German. We want to keep that tradition and therefore we are looking for users with knowledge of the following languages to help us translate the instructions of The Way Of The Exploding Fist: Spanish, Italian, Dutch, Russian and Japanese. It's a very small text that needs to be translated. If you're interested contact us for details. We'll use a "FIFO" queue :) Thanks!
